11 The Lord said to me, ‘It is true that Israel's people have not been faithful to me. But Judah's people are even more guilty than them.[a]

12 Go now. Shout this message to my people in the north:

“You people of Israel have not been faithful to me.
    But now return to me,” says the Lord.
“I will not always turn away from you.
I am kind and I forgive people.
    I will not be angry with you for ever,” says the Lord.
13 “But you must agree that you are guilty of sin.
    You have turned against me, the Lord your God.
You have loved to serve many foreign gods.
    You have worshipped them under every big tree.
You have not obeyed my commands.” ’

That is what the Lord says.
